I will be coming up for air soon!

It has been full steam ahead in my quilting studio, working hard to get all my lovely customers quilts finished in time so they can give their beautiful creations as Christmas presents.
First is a fabulous quilt made by the talented Juliet.

Juliet is a clever pattern designer, all her creations are for foundation paper piecing, see here and here for two of her other quilts.
Juliet trusts me to, quote: "have fun" quilting and lets me come up with the ideas.

One bear............................two bear!

I enjoyed quilting swirls and pebbles around the bears, then I ditch stitched all the paper piecing ditches, then took sometime deciding what on earth I was going to quilt on those bears!

I used a fine blending thread to quilt different 'textures' on the different fabrics, hopefully creating movement and interest.

Because I knew this quilt was being gifted to Juliet's son I didn't want the quilting be feminine.
